yes mate that is one way of doing mate, but (simon the owner of the mk1) like's the ride hight the way it is.... so yes tunnel the floor to clear the exhaust to get the ass down to the weeds..

I have been in this car a couple of times as simon is one of our really good mates, it wheelies for fun put it that way. the exhaust is of one of our saffs, and it makes people want to know whats under the bonnet, at donny they were all looking under the front bumper to see what intercooler on etc, ha ha. it sounds mint too. he loves it and wouldnt like to see him selling, and when the time comes, I am going to the church in this car!!! lol cant wait.......
